Mandalorian & Grogu Super Bowl Ad Brings Back a Classic Star Wars Creature

-

The Mandalorian made history in 2019 as the first live-action Star Wars TV series. It quickly became a fan favorite by introducing Din Djarin, a lone Mandalorian bounty hunter played by Pedro Pascal, and Grogu — the small, mysterious Force-sensitive child fans lovingly call Baby Yoda.

The first two seasons were widely praised, but after a long three-year wait, Season 3 received a mixed response. Now, Disney is looking ahead to the future with a brand-new theatrical film, The Mandalorian & Grogu, and a recent Super Bowl ad has fans talking again.

Super Bowl Spot Revives a Creature From the Original Trilogy

Instead of a traditional trailer, Disney released a special Super Bowl commercial that feels more like a cinematic moment. In the ad, Din Djarin and Grogu are seen riding a floating sleigh pulled by Tauntauns, the iconic creatures first introduced on the ice planet Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back.

The commercial features calm, powerful narration by legendary actor Sam Elliott, known for films like The Big Lebowski and A Star Is Born. His voiceover speaks about moving forward, purpose, and an unseen Force — themes deeply connected to Star Wars.

At this point, it’s unclear whether Sam Elliott will appear in the movie itself or if his role is limited to the commercial.

What We Know About The Mandalorian & Grogu Movie

Plot details for the movie are still mostly secret, but it has been confirmed that the story will take place after Season 3 of The Mandalorian and will focus on the continuing journey of Din Djarin and Grogu.

Some exciting casting details have already been revealed:

  • Sigourney Weaver will play Colonel Ward, a high-ranking officer in the New Republic

  • Jeremy Allen White (The Bear) will voice Rotta the Hutt, the son of Jabba the Hutt

The film is set years after the original Star Wars trilogy but before the sequel trilogy, placing it in a familiar yet open timeline for fans.

A Big Moment for Star Wars in Theaters

The Mandalorian & Grogu is scheduled to release on May 22, 2026. This is a major moment for the franchise, as it will be the first Star Wars movie released in theaters since 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker.

Because of this long break, expectations are high. Disney is hoping this movie can help rebuild excitement for Star Wars on the big screen.

Following this film, Disney plans to release Star Wars: Starfighter on May 28, 2027, starring Ryan Gosling. That movie will be set about five years after the sequel trilogy ends.

Can Star Wars Win Back the Magic?

With familiar characters, classic creatures, and a beloved tone, The Mandalorian & Grogu has a lot riding on it. Fans will be watching closely to see if this movie can capture the heart and imagination of audiences once again.

Until then, expect more teasers, commercials, and surprises as the release date gets closer.
